Terms of Use for the besecret.com Website

The terms of use for the besecret.com website are regulated below. This website can also be reached via the domain www.besecret.com as well as via iOS and Android applications.

I. Preamble

Besecret.com provides a platform for users to write, read and publish texts. The aim is to give users the opportunity to reveal personal secrets anonymously and virtually. Photos or videos can also be published. It is also possible to publish the texts together with photos or videos via the operator's profiles on third-party social media platforms.
These texts can be accessed and publicly viewed via the website www.besecret.com and via an application available for iOS and Android provided by the operator. The purely private, non-commercial use is free for the user. Additional functions are partly chargeable.

II. Scope

These terms of use contain regulations on the content, availability and responsibilities in connection with the use of the website www.besecret.com and the application made available for it.
(1) Interdev Tech Media LTD, hereinafter also referred to as "the company", provides a communication platform with accompanying services (hereinafter: chat) on the Internet at "https://besecret.com". These terms and conditions apply to every participant in the chat and to all subdomains belonging to the named domain, even if they are used or accessed from outside of Cyprus. With the registration or the later login as a participant, these terms and conditions are accepted and thus part of the contract of use, which comes into existence when the company confirms the registration.
(2) A participant within the meaning of these terms and conditions is anyone who uses the chat mentioned in paragraph 1, in particular the communication and service options offered there. The company expressly points out that the company also uses and operates entertainers who participate in the chat under their own identities, in particular conducting dialogues with other participants. These are usually marked with an entertainer logo under their profiles. Under certain circumstances, it is also possible for an external registered participant to conduct dialogues with an entertainer working for the company without the latter identifying himself/herself as such. The use of entertainers working for the company serves in particular to ensure an exchange option even in the event of a possibly temporary lack of other (external) participants and to monitor compliance with the participant obligations. Incidentally, every participant can also become an entertainer by applying for profile verification. The participant can fill out and send the suitable form for a verification via his profile settings. There are no obligations on the part of the company to accept the verification or to hire the participant as an entertainer.
(3) The company reserves the right to change these terms and conditions, in particular in the context of necessary updates. The participant has the possibility to view the currently valid version of the terms and conditions via the website at any time. There will be no individual notification of the participant about any changes. The participant is therefore responsible for taking note of the current terms and conditions before using the chat. A login after changes to the terms and conditions can only take place after the respective confirmation of the changed terms and conditions. Continued use of the chat by logging in after the terms and conditions have changed is deemed to be the participant's declaration of consent to the changed terms and conditions.
